Editorial Reviews

★ "Medina's rhythmic text is punctuated with onomatopoeia and emphasizes Ramírez's connection to the Rarámuri traditions . . . Castro's richly colored digital images depict the flora and fauna of the desert terrain and feature floral motifs that surround Ramírez like a cloud of energy." --Horn Book Magazine, STARRED REVIEW
